Bomb Cats - Take It All Lyrics

Hanging in a downtown garden with you
I've got no money there's not much else we can do
I picked you a flower from a forbidden tree
A two-hundred dollar fine is what I received

They can take it all
There wasn't much to begin with
Yeah, they're gonna' take it all
And I don't ever want it back

I went to the courthouse ready to protest my fee
How can you charge me for something that's growing for free
The judge and jury did not see it my way
A bill from the plaintiff showed up the very next day

They can take it all
There wasn't much to begin with
Yeah, they're gonna' take it all
And I don't ever want it back

I got me a job to pay back the money I owed
Stacking boxes twenty foot high in the cold
I worked so hard my fingers started to break
So the doctor ended up with the money I made

So I ended up in the garden once more
It's the only place I could afford
Through it all I did not learn a thing
'Cause I picked that forbidden flower again

They can take it all
There wasn't much to begin with
Yeah, they're gonna' take it all
And I don't ever want it back
